Creating with Fuschia and Magenta
Each curve and seam brought the waves to life, transitioning seamlessly from one piece to another, creating a piece of art with fuschia and magenta.

My Olive Green Tree of Life
Creating my Olive Green Tree of Life has taught me about the power of waiting, things develop in the artistic process. Often, the most beautiful creations take time to emerge. I encourage fellow quilters and artists to embrace your journey, no matter how long it takes. Your ideas will germinate and flourish, leading to art that is uniquely yours.

I woke up with this
I woke up with this. I saw the picture and went to the box of crayons and took these out. As an artist or actually I think any kind of creator, you just know when you have got it right. First of all it feels right and you can "see" it.

T Shirt Remnants
I needed something in pink shades to complete an outfit. Some sort of accessory. I already have a button necklace but wanted something a bit more boho and casual.
A t shirt necklace is what I wanted, so I went to the remnant pile to see what size of t shirt remnants I had in pinks.

Jungle Colors
I tell my students that the most important thing when choosing colors to my mind is not the color wheel, it is what they feel.
Text book jungle colors can be different shades of greens and browns. I went to a search engine and asked for jungle colors. I found certain palettes but I also found childrens books and there the colors were different, reds and yellows and many shades of greens and oranges as well.

Do what you do well
What I enjoy doing the most is working with scraps. So I tell myself do what you do well! Working with fabric scraps. Giving them a new life. Creating techniques that simplify achieving appealing results.

Working with stretch
This week's experiment is a wave landscape patchwork piece with stretchy fabric. I am not normally working with stretch fabrics when creating wave landscape patchwork quilts, but the pieces are so beautiful so I will try. I have the perfect purple thread in my stash.

The many shades of winter
I have been sewing many art quilts in the last month and as a result have been left with a huge pile of fabric remnants.
I spent today sorting them according to seasons and sizes for working on future projects.
Winter was the last one that I worked on and as I sorted I noticed how many different shades there are of winter. I decided to do a sub sort of the really tiny pieces which I use to create ScrapFabric and fabric beads.
